This hotel was great value for the money. Location was great for Universal, clean rooms, and helpful staff.
Amazing location, comfy beds, and super friendly staff! The breakfast was a bit pricey, but overall a great experience.
The hotel was a bit dated, but the amazing staff and great location made up for it. It's a good value for the money.
The customer service was excellent, they really went the extra mile to make sure we had a good time! There were a few hiccups with our rooms but it all worked out eventually and the final room was perfect.
The hotel was great! Everything was super convenient, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. I especially appreciated the clean room and the amazing view of the lake. Would definitely stay again!
